Saturday, May 29, 5:30 - 10:00 pm: Great Taste of The Heights
  • I know it's a little early, but this is one of my FAVORITE events in The Heights and I couldn't wait to remind everyone to go! From old neighborhood faves like Carter & Cooley to new spots like Bedford bringing Foodies from all over Houston to The Heights, this should be a great event.
  • Tickets are $21 and can be purchased at Collina's, Eclectic Home, Kojak's Cafe or DaCapo's. They are also available on line
Outside the Heights:

Saturday, May 9, 1pm: Art Car Parade
  • Aaaahhhh! It's finally here! The highlight of my year! The Art Car parade is the example I use to persuade all my non-Houstonian friends that H-town is actually a very quirky and cool place to live. It will be on Allen Parkway between Taft and downtown--and it's free!
